How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Euler and skew integration are multiplicative for finite acyclic quivers
Statement
Let be a finite acyclic quiver over , let , and use the subobject-first completion and tori from Subobject-first Hall completion and quantum tori for finite quivers. The degree-completed Hall product is associative and unital. The continuous maps are unital algebra homomorphisms to the completed tori with products These are separate normalizations: the first is the Euler form target, while the second uses the skew-symmetrized form and the diagonal factor .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite acyclic quiver over , the subobject-first Hall convention, and .
The subobject-first Hall product is the opposite of the quotient-first product, and the dimension completions and both target products are defined in Subobject-first Hall completion and quantum tori for finite quivers.
The normalized basis satisfies (Finite-quiver Hall multiplication counts extensions by automorphism orbits).
The representation category has a small finitary abelian full skeleton. The finite vector spaces of Hom and Yoneda Ext satisfy (Finite acyclic quiver representations: heredity, Euler form, and finite-field finitarity).
The generic quotient-first untwisted Hall product is associative and unital on every small finitary abelian category (The untwisted Hall product is associative and unital).
The homogeneous Hall products have finite support (Untwisted Hall structure constants and products are finite).
Proof
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement.
Apply [F4] to the small finitary abelian full skeleton supplied by [F3]. Its inclusion preserves isomorphism classes and subobject classes: transporting a monomorphism's domain to its skeleton representative gives a bijection on monomorphisms modulo domain isomorphism, and transports the quotient to the same quotient class. Thus its Hall coefficients are exactly those in [F1]. Write for this quotient-first product. By [F1], , so by [F4]. The zero-object class is the unit for , hence also for .
The degree of an extension is the sum of the endpoint dimension vectors. For a fixed output degree , a product coefficient uses only the finitely many pairs ; each is finite-dimensional by the representation-matrix definition. Thus [F5] extends the product degree by degree to , and truncating above total dimension changes no coefficient of dimension at most . This is continuity for the total-dimension filtration.
On a normalized basis vector, because . For and , [F2] gives By [F3], both sets are finite vector spaces and the ratio of their cardinalities is This is exactly in the Euler target.
On the same basis, . Applying [F2] and [F3] to gives its -image coefficient By bilinearity, Since and , the coefficient becomes which is exactly the coefficient of in the skew target.
Bilinearity of makes the Euler twist associative: both parenthesizations of have exponent . Bilinearity of gives the same cocycle identity for the skew product. Both products have the degree-zero basis vector as unit. Step 1.2 gives finite-dimensional homogeneous components, so the formulas for and define degree-preserving linear maps and are continuous on the completion. Step 1.1 establishes the source unit and associativity, and steps 1.3–1.4 establish multiplicativity on normalized basis vectors. The cocycle calculation above establishes the target unit and associativity, so linearity and continuity extend and to unital algebra homomorphisms on the completions.
